we don't need ellis. his defense gives up about 70 more yards per game against the SEC than we currently do this year.


It's his first year - what do you expect? The Iron Curtain? From his AU bio:
quote:

While defensive coordinator at South Carolina, Johnson also served as linebackers coach. In his final season with the Gamecocks, his defense ranked third nationally, allowing just 268 yards per game. Under Johnson, South Carolina finished in the Top 15 nationally in total defense three times. In addition to the 2011 mark of No. 4 overall, the USC defense ranked No. 13 in scoring defense (18.8 points per game) and second in pass defense (133 yards per game).


Plus, we know he won't be trying a HC job again any time soon and he knows all the teams we play. I would jump all over this guy if he came open. He's like Muschamp without all the crazy bullshite.

How well did his defense defend UGA while at South Carolina.

Not too great if my memory recollects.

He's a good coach. But understandably with the frustration currently in our fanbase, he's over-rated. I don't think he's better than Willie Martinez. When he has a pass rush (with 4), he'l make opponents pay. When that pass rush struggles, the defense can't do anything right.
